LONDON, UK – Bow down, ODDWAX fam, because Her Madgesty has spoken, and the news is nothing short of iconic! Madonna just pulled back the curtain on her colossal forthcoming EDM remix album, "Veronica Electronica," and we are absolutely buzzing. This isn't just a release; it's a deep dive into the very soul of a pop titan, perfectly primed for the vinyl experience.
"Making my Ray of Light album was a seminal moment in my life as an artist," the Queen of Pop declared via Instagram Stories, referencing that mystical, techno-infused 1998 studio masterpiece. We all know Ray of Light not only defined an era but also catapulted electronica into the mainstream, thanks to untouchable singles like "Frozen," "Nothing Really Matters," "The Power of Good-Bye," and the Grammy-winning title track. "I was going through a huge metamorphosis," Madonna continued, "I had just given birth to my daughter Lola, I had found my spiritual path and I was ready to shed a new skin and take a road less travelled by."
Madonna revealed how she fearlessly "ventured into electronic music" alongside the legendary Ray of Light producer William Orbit. This transformative experience birthed an entirely new alter ego, drawing on the name she adopted upon her Catholic confirmation. "And Veronica Electronica was born. Meet my other half," she concluded, with that signature wink and tongue-out emoji – a true ODDWAX spirit, embracing the "odd."
In the ultimate digital reveal, the star followed up with a captivating black-and-white photo and an AI-generated video, definitively announcing Veronica Electronica as "the long-awaited remix album from the Ray of Light era." The anticipation is palpable.
The long-rumoured project finally has a date with destiny: July 25th! This powerhouse collection will feature eight incredibly rare and previously unreleased remixes from that pivotal album, including fresh edits of "Drowned World/Substitute for Love," "Ray of Light," and "Sky Fits Heaven." And for the true collectors, the original demo version of "Gone, Gone, Gone" is making its grand debut! To kick off this monumental rollout, Madonna dropped the first taste with the beloved deep cut, "Skin (The Collaboration Remix Edit)" – an absolute must-listen.
This isn't just another chapter; it's a pivotal moment in Madonna’s unparalleled career, underscored by a new release from the Silver Collection. For those in the know, this is Madonna’s ongoing, career-spanning series of collectible, limited-edition silver vinyl reissues of her legendary catalogue – a perfect match for the ODDWAX ethos.
Veronica Electronica is set to arrive on July 25th on stunning silver vinyl and digitally. For the ultimate fan experience, vinyl orders from Madonna.com and Rhino.com will include an exclusive silver mylar lithograph.
This eight-track companion to Ray of Light was originally envisioned by Madonna as a remix album way back in 1998. However, the original album's runaway success and a parade of hit singles famously sidelined the project. But now, more than 25 years later, that long-rumoured concept finally comes to life, a testament to enduring artistry. The collection boasts newly edited versions of iconic club remixes by trailblazers like Peter Rauhofer, William Orbit, Sasha, BT, and Victor Calderone, alongside that raw, previously unreleased recording of "Gone, Gone, Gone," produced by Madonna and Rick Nowels.
